Yesterday morning I wrote down a plan of what I would eat that day. I planned within calorie range and I planned that I would have something to eat every 2 hours. Then I FORBID myself to stray from my plan...NO substitutions whatsoever. I told myself "So, you want to eat a bunch of sweets, eh? Well, you can't have them. Not today. So, GET OVER IT." Somehow, that worked. I planned what I ate and ate what I planned. ding ding ding, we have a winner. ;)
I also FORCED myself to do the wii fit for 30 minutes. I REALLY didn't want to. I did some heavy talking to myself today. "too bad, so sad, you have no choice, now exercise". My heart wasn't in it...I did the easiest exercises on there..but I did it.
All day long my precious 8 year old daughter asked if we could go for a walk together. blah. That doesn't sound fun! But I wanted to make her happy. So after supper, we walked the neighborhood. It was nice. I was glad I did it.
So the day was a victory because I got my footing back. It wasn't an excellent day....but it was within limits. Since I have had 3 days of being over the limits, within the limits is good!

ReplyDeleteI bet your daughter is super happy you guys went for a walk too! What a sweet cheerleader offering to spend quality time with you in a healthy way. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow, You're lucky if you can eat 3000 calories and lose weight. So lucky. I lose one pound a week eating 1500 cals. I don't lose if I eat more. Metabolisms...they're all different. Wish I had yours.
ReplyDeletethanks for directing me to your previous post... Based on that formula i should be eating between 1640 -2140 cals. I aim for 1500 and forget a thing or two. I still do not lose 2 pds. a week. I see what you're saying though, since you weigh more for now...you're allowed to eat more and lose as well. Thanks again for that.
